Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
I just shipped a Ross Mt bike to Japan , it weighed 36lbs at the post office packed (less the front wheel ,shipped separate with extra wheel) , just for info, the bike shipped for $139 and the wheels shipped for $68. The bike sold for $299 and I received $300 for shipping, I guess I did ok on a thrift store bike find

thank you.
I have more to weigh. You got me interested now in how much they all weigh. I should write the weights down under the bottom bracket with a sharpy.

like this guy... only I bought mine on Ebay for very little money. It works well. Has Kg's or Lb's
Yep same one as I have.
i totally agree ifitsfree...i never "cared" i guess you could say how much a bike has ever weight until i started riding my 29er. and then one thing lead to another and the curiosity built up within the bikes the gf n i own/build. Just started the build with our free spirit cruisers, i weight everything as it was coming apart lol. there will be a thread for these bikes also i started some old fashioned drillium techniques on my 29er, which i also will post a full thread for.

I have to get on those scales 8)
I use the bathroom scale method so mine are not spot on but
~20lbs Felt Dispatch converted to coaster, kinda twitchy
~27.5lbs Last year's Buildoff bike, 60s Spaceliner, like the ride better than the Felt
~24.5lbs My wife's super smooth Hercules, mostly steel except the wheels
Great thread, thanks for posting the weights

anyone else gonna weight their various stretches/tallbikes/homebrews?
the only reason i did at first was from a past buildoff. i started with a hybrid mountain bike instead of the usual beachcruiser. i titled it "the lightweight stretch" figuring it should be lighter, so i weighed it at the end to see if it actually was lighter than my other stretches. it's kind of a curiousity now. it definitly wouldn't keep me from riding my stretches, but i do keep it in mind with future experiments.
